Well....we were pretty wiped out from our jaunt into London yesterday....and no one was too excited about getting up this morning to make the trip across England to visit Bath...home of the Roman Baths...from like 2000 to 3000 years ago...its simply amazing how old everything is...so much history!!!!
The town was much bigger than I expected...but we loved it and so glad we made the trip.....definitely recommend going if you ever get a chance....
We took a tour around the Roman Baths...evidently everyone used to bath in public baths such as these...no indoor plumbing yet..maybe....The water comes from under the ground and travels something like 25miles...then up through some faults...and they created these natural hot baths....the Romans lined the baths with lead to keep the baths warm....so we couldn't get in Roman Baths.....you know....lead poisoning and all.....
So we booked our own two-hour public bath in a spa around the corner.....quite lovely....the first spa was on rooftop of the building and was pretty huge.....looked more like a pool that was heated....and we could see all the surrounding rooftops...and caught sight of a hot air balloon...very nice...then we spent some time in the saunas...there were four to choose from...and each was infused with different oils....like lemongrass, lotus, eucalyptus....and something else....had a nice time here...was so beautiful...the flowers around town were incredible...
You...know...another body of water...(this one forbidden of course)...makes me want to do it more... lol....so had to just pretend to be dipping my toe....but we did drink some of the water......just to say we did....it was clean and comes from under the ground...
